Description
Caraway Seed is the dried fruit of the herb Carum carvi. The small,
tannish brown seeds have a flavor similar to a blend of Dill and Anise--sweet
but faintly sharp.
Uses
Caraway Seed is known for its flavor in rye bread, and it is used
to flavor cakes, biscuits, cheese, carrot, and potato dishes. Caraway
is used in European, German, and British cooking and pickle blends,
harissa, and sauerkraut blends.
Origins
Although Caraway is produced in Holland, Egypt is a major additional
source. The Dutch-type Caraway is the premium seed because of its
uniform shape, consistent color, and its oil content. The Dutch variety
is more aromatic and bitter than the Egyptian, which has a milder,
rye flavor.
Folklore
Caraway seeds are believed to have been used in Europe longer than
any other condiment. Their use was first recorded in Egypt, in the
medical papyrus of Thebes in 1552 B.C.
